Just remember that the vinyl sticks to whatever is there. Be it dirt, wax, bugs, or paint. If whatever is there is not part of the paint...figure it out.

It's fine if you never use macros or write any code behind you Office applications. Stuff from MS Office will load and function as long as there's not any macros. These absolutely positively will not work under Open Office. Open Office's programming scheme is a totally different and, in my...

Admittedly, it's not intuitive. Far from it. The best thing to do is to set up to laminate a print, watch the video, then with the video fresh in your mind, run over and proceed with the lamination. You might want to try it a couple of times on some scrap, the feel is somewhat different from...

Because vinyl is gas permeable. From the picture that was posted, someone's concept of silvering is radically different from my own. Those are bubbles. With the Big Squeegee those usually are caused by lack of uniform pressure across the entire squeegee. Often the result of trying to push...

One doesn't live one's life merely to protect the sensibilities of others. It would appear then you have never actually found yourself in any sort of forced marginal living such as friend Arlo describes. You sound very much like one of the legions of functionally mindless that proclaim with...

As previously noted, don't stretch fonts. These are right on the edge of being unreadable. Also, the image of the grill is leaving the banner. It should be facing the other way, heading for the center of the banner.

Nice start, Especially with the cloud effect popular in that era. But... It's way too strung out, try stacking 'Springfield' on top of 'Wagon Company'. The eye does not flow easily over the whole thing. It's just four separate and visually unrelated objects: the name, 'old reliable...'...

I believe they copyrighted the name, not the patch, not the symbols, just the words. While some might think Disney is exhibiting questionable behavior, it's actually a very smart move. Disney has no obligation to anyone's sensibilities, only to their stockholders.

I object to the term 'vectorize'. It presumes the existence of sufficient information in a bitmap that can be extracted in vector form. That is not the case. Creating a vector image from bitmap is, always is, only is, tracing what you or some algorithm perceives as edges. Period. There is...

What are your rendering intents? If they're not 'No Color Correction' for everything except bitmaps, which should be set to 'Perceptual', then change them and try again. You can futz around with profiles and maybe one day hit something close to what you want. Change your rendering intents to...

Probably not a typeface. This logo has been around in one form or another for over a century. Back in those days these things we're done by hand. Mostly. Clue that it's done by hand: the spurs are in perfect horizontal alignment.

No doubt it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy to do all that stuff. Even to the extent of others actually paying you for your efforts, futile as they might be. Perhaps feeling good through self-delusion is sufficient reason to do that sort of thing, but as far as having some sort of effect on...

Why?

Perhaps you are confounded by long division and non-integer numbers. It's quite simple, assuming the numbers 8 and 15 are correct, one massive roll is equivalent to 15/8 of a regular roll. Just because something cannot be expressed in integers that you can count off on your fingers does not...

Back in the 1970's I wrote a ton of code to do exactly that with pen plotters. There was no such thing as a color printer. Hell, there weren't even any color monitors. If you wanted color output, you used a pen plotter. Doing an object fill is simple, just a bit of simple algebra calculating...

Also in 8.6. When you're done with Gene's steps then do this to tidy up the thing. Ungroup the swatch table Select all text Move the current selection [all the text] to the top: shift-page up Move the entire block of text to that the labels are above their respective color...

Depends. I have vinyl that ranges in age to brand new to some that's at least seven years old. It all works. If you can cut it, weed it, mask it, and apply it without any issues, assume the media is OK regardless of age.

Don't send CMYK files out to be printed, always send RGB. If whoever is doing your printing throws a fit, change printers. Any good printer will let his process do the conversion just like you do when you send an RGB file to your RIP. If your RIP does a far better job mapping RGB to CMYK than...

You can get low tack app tape specifically for digital prints but the R-Tape 4075-RLA conform mentioned above does just fine. The thing with masking digital prints is to mask them and use them. Don't let them sit around with app tape on them regardless of what product you might be using to...
